You smoking crack? Keane is the best all round footballer that has ever played at Old Trafford, he is United's best ever captain and he was more reliable than Robbo. As for your budget comment he was 9 times out of 10 the best player on the park.

[@declanobrien1283]

@Ajmal Ali are you smoking crack? Keano was a better player, the most successful captain the club has ever had. Outperformed my arse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ince if what you say is true then fergie was wrong to sell Ince oh wait...the large bulk of trophies came under Keane's captaincy, personally do not give two fucks whether Robbo was the quintessential box to box player, he won fuck all compared with Keane and when you're at United you're there to win, signed as his replacement and replace him he did.

[@declanobrien1283]

@Ajmal Ali 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you sir are a fucking mong. I am not Irish hahahaha. Robbo never won cups single handedly that's fucking nonsense if it wasn't for Hughes and Whiteside in 85 it would have been different. And I know many words certainly to describe you fucking cretin. Keane won 7 premier league titles 5 as captain, 4 FA Cups and a champions league 19 trophies over his whole career in comparison with Robbo's 3 FA Cups, 2 Prem Titles and a cup winners cup the whole idea of him being better than Keane is ridiculous. Certainly would love to see you in charge of United 🤣🤣🤣🤣 also Ince was sold because Keane was miles better going forward and in defence.

[@declanobrien1283]

@Ajmal Ali Keane was the better player, that's why Fergie kept him. Understood the game better than Ince when Fergie picked is Man United 11 in a documentary his Midfield was Robson and Keane after which he described the young Keane as the best player in Britain and the perfect successor to Robson predicting that he could surpass him. Blatantly leaving out Ince proved who was the better player. So pipe down you ruddy little ignoramus .

With Robson England battered France, arguably the best team at that tournament, at the start of the 1982 World Cup. Then he got a nasty shoulder injury and we stank thereafter.

That midfield would have lacked passing ability and the ability to control the games tempo. What most do not understand about keane because of all the other antics was his ability to pass the ball was head and shoulders above everything else in the EPL. Because he was an all action midfield player people got blinded by that.

[@Ivan_Ardon]

@@bighands69 Vinnie Jones was an awesome passer of the ball. In the Wimbledon team he played in, there wasn't the need to pass the ball, but if you look at him when he was at Leeds, they were an excellent passing side. I feel Jones would have just sat in the middle winning the first and second balls (as at that time the EPL was still very much a long ball game) an play a simple lay off.

Don't agree. His absence from the knockout stages of the 1990 world cup was critical. In the semi final against Gascoigne could not get free from his German markers (Beckenbauer's approach was to shut him down), if Robson had been there he would give Paul space to hit Lineker and Beardsley with balls..

The only midfielder during the last 40 years who you could compare or who even came close was Roy Keane. Gerrard/Lampard/Viera could not hold a candle to Robson, he was head and shoulders above them. He had everything, two men in the tackle, dominant defensive ability, as fast as a winger, could score as many goals as a striker, what is underrated is his ability to pass and control a game which was evident during the 1991 European Cup Winners Cup.

90 minutes of play and so few points ever scored.. suggest an overhaul of the sport. The 'objective' point scoring format should be shelved in favour of a 'subjective' adjudication. The goal box is eliminated and instead, a panel of judges assess artistic merit. The positioning of the arms and overall body balance (as foot is put to ball) determine a judge's score card at the end of each half.. ribbons in the colour formations of the respective clubs could be twirled about (as in women's gymnastic floor routines). Commentators would enlighten the viewer as to the significance of the "lovely siwky touch as he's gone on to kick the bawl magnificently".
